    Is Organic Cotton Harmfull ? (Calling Everyone!)

    The whole wicking safety topic been discussed ad nauseum in the past. I would say the chances of getting bysinossis from vaping on cotton is next to zero. Why? Because we are not inhaling cotton dust. Bisynossis is a disease of workers in the yarn industry who inhale cotton particles...

    Vegetable Glycerin Warning!

    Not sure that is accurate. I am no doctor and the synthesis of glycerine in the body is pretty complex (the body produces it naturally from a process called lipolysis), but from the research papers I have seen, it should not raise blood sugar (though it does cause insulin spikes in some...

    Were you a diacetyl or AP vaper?

    Volcano E-Cigs Lavatube 3 (DNA-40)

    It is a genuine Evolv board. However, that is not what concerns me about Volcano. On a reddit post, a Volcano rep said that they are now making their own batteries "in-house." A bunch of posters called them out on that B.S., which obviously makes Volcano look like total ....... If Volcano is...

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    I doubt Innokin would pull a stunt similar to Smok. If they claim it works, I bet it does work. Does that mean it wont be "fiddly" or finicky? No, but I do believe it will work. I am sure they are using a temperature sensor at the coil. The question then becomes how responsive and accurate...

    Here is a video review of it.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Personally, from a health perspective, I like the idea of using a pure metal as a coil. This means if I am being contaminated with metallic nano-particles, well at least I only have one type to worry about (and not 3 or 4 such as is the case with alloys like kanthal). This is why titanium is...

    Dr. F. Responds to a New Study (Help with the Math)

    You are correct, just as I said in my original post. 10mM = 1.6g/L = 1.6mg/mL. Basically the crux is that when you convert from g/L to mg/mL, nothing changes. 1.6g/L is still 1.6mg/mL. It is *not* 1600mg/mL as Dr. Farsilinos originally said. I remember when I took Chemistry 101 in...

    The end of microcoils?

    I know this is a bit off topic of coiling materials, but this study is a nice systematic review of all the known literature on e-cig health effects. This was done a number of months back so some of the recent studies are not included. There were 271 studies about e-cig health effects...

    The end of microcoils?

    From my layman reading, the paper concludes the following: One sample was heated to 650C (~1200F) for 14 hours. Let's call that sample A. Another sampled was treated at 850C (~1500F) for 6 hours. Let's call this sample B. Both samples exhibited the rutile phase. The rutile phase is a...

    E-Cigarette Vapor—Even when Nicotine-Free—Found to Damage Lung Cells

    I think Dr. F's calculations are wrong. How is it possible to have 1600mg/mL of nicotine when the density of pure nicotine is 1010mg/mL? Pretty sure he messed up the g/L to mg/mL conversion and moved the decimal 3 places to the right when he shouldn't have. Remember that 0.016g/L =...

    Dr. F. Responds to a New Study (Help with the Math)

    So there was a cell study published recently that took human and rat lung cells and exposed them to both cigarette smoke and e-cig vapor (with and without nicotine). Dr. Farsilinos responded saying that the study was bogus based on a detail he saw in one of the charts. What happened is they...

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    I want this but now I am thinking I should wait on Innokin's (kanthal) temperature control device.

    Innokin announces temp control

    Yeah, the iJoy one looks suspicious to me. But this is Innokin -- a company that Evolv entered a partnership with because they don't rip people off and actually innovate. If Innokin says they have it working, I am inclined to believe it until someone proves it doesn't work. I suspect they...

    Innokin announces temp control

    One of the Innokin reps said on Reddit that he has personally used TC with Kanthal and it works and is accurate. He can't release how it works because of potential IP theft, but he said it is nothing like Smok's M-80 (which as we all know was a sham). He said people have already tried to steal...

    Errr..TP with Kanthal..??

    Sounds to me like they are merely throttling power perhaps based on something like the duration of the puff. Probably something similar to what Smok is doing (no resistance monitoring, but simply throttling power based on some unknown algorithm). It might work "a little" but it's probably...

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    Anyone know if this has buck circuitry? I really want one of these but the whole exploding iStick controversy has me thinking twice.

    The end of microcoils?

    I'm referring to the USC study that is being discussed in the thread you linked. Keep in mind, though, that that is not the only study that detected heavy metals in e-cig vapor. It appears to be a real phenomenon. Another study used a very janky looking cartomizer with a nichrome wire that...

    The end of microcoils?

    Several studies have found metals in e-cig vapor. Most of them were cigalikes, however. In one cigalike they found pretty high concentrations of tin in the vapor (they actually condensed the vapor, spun it in a machine, and produced tin pellets at levels visible by the naked eye). However...

    The end of microcoils?

    No. I have no scientific data, but I have seen people post here that even though they have a nickel allergy, vaping nickel has no effect on them. This, obviously, would imply that no nickel is leeching into the vapor (or at least such small amounts as to be inconsequential to an allergy). And...
